“Medial Meniscectomy at the Time of ACL Reconstruction Is Associated With Postoperative Anterior Tibial Translation: A Retrospective Analysis” with Author Dr. Andrew Fithian, MD

  • Summary

  • The Medial Meniscus is a known secondary stabilizer to the ACL in terms of anterior tibial translation in the knee. So what happens after ACL reconstruction if the medial meniscus is deficient? Dr. Andrew Fithian, MD joins us to discuss his study addressing this very question. Coming to us from Kaiser Permanente San Diego, Dr. Fithian and his team investigated postoperative anterior tibial translation in autograft ACL patients with an intact medial meniscus, a repaired medial meniscus, or a partially resected medial meniscus. The results may guide decision making when facing a situation with an irreparable medial meniscus tear in the setting of an ACL tear, particularly with graft choice.
